It is with no surprise that Minecraft made the most money last year, even though the PC version is undoubtedly superior. Trials Evolution was absolutely fantastic and was probably my favorite XBLA release of last year, and even Trials HD made it into the top ten list.

There aren’t really any surprises here apart from Castle Crashers, a 2008 release that is still number 5 on the list. I never got round to playing Castle Crashers but I’m guessing it must be pretty good to be doing so well over 4 years later.

I am shocked to see that neither Fez nor Dust: An Elysian Tale is on that list as they were heavily promoted by Microsoft and were very well received. I suppose people were too busy playing Minecraft to notice…

What do you think of the top grossing list? Did you pick up any of those titles? Let me know in the comments below.
